I will not deny that I keep hitting the Montagues and the Capulets are mafia cockney-looking and trigger-happy, but really the essence of the work is maintained in the background is important. The love story of two young men from rival families who with their deaths they see the futility of their struggle and that they were bringing disgrace to all, led to the modern world, was framed within the world of the Mafia, and that in times are the only ones who are still waving the honor and blood as a banner in their revenge. Householders keep their forms to the public as their offspring and family spilled the blood of the enemy anywhere. Leonardo diCaprio
I did not like then, maybe because it had become idol of the girls and I have never communed with it to follow the crowd feverish, but rather I was running in the opposite direction. But over the years this actor has ceased to be an eternal child and has earned my respect with films like Departed, The Aviator , Shutter Island or Source . Looking back to Romeo and Juliet , the kid is acting very well, according to the tortured love and Romeo, who can not love his Juliet without going over your family, mad after discovering a love of giving up violence, a quiet life with his love and may reconcile the two families, why not? The rest
cast (with actorazo) I have to emphasize the enormous John Leguizamo and stylish, torero Tybalt and Harold Perrineau a unleashed Mercuccio playing the always charismatic. The first is a actorazo of those who encourage any film in the acting mediocre, doomed to be always a charismatic and talented secondary is being wasted. This builds a really theatrical in their movements and their modus operandi, with an air of rebellious sixties to John Travolta in Grease mixed with Mexican mariachi. Perrineau, our Michael in the series Lost, has been my surprise, the black man with dreadlocks who recites pipe in hand. A little locaza maybe (due in part to disguise part of their operations), but always hot and friend of Romeo.
In short, the movie is not bad. It will be remembered as possibly the weirdest adaptation of a Shakespeare play, but the essence of this universal story remains, as I said, and even write it in golden letters, the message remains unchanged: love can be the greatest blessing or the most terrible of curses.
